Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...

Digitalising biodiversity: Exploring perceptions on risks and opportunities

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Digitalisation is transforming biodiversity conservation, offering new opportunities for research, governance and public engagement. Herbarium digitisation, for example, enables large‐scale access to plant data, supporting conservation, restoration and sustainable use.

Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

Exploring the Benzazoles Derivatives as Pharmacophores for AChE, BACE1, and as Anti-Aβ Aggregation to Find Multitarget Compounds against Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yesMolecules
Despite the great effort that has gone into developing new molecules as multitarget compounds to treat Alzheimer’s disease (AD), none of these have been approved to treat this disease.

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

Preclinical Evaluation of 2-Aminobenzothiazole Derivatives: In Silico, In Vitro, and Preliminary In Vivo Studies as Diabetic Treatments and Their Complications

open access: yesMolecules
Type 2 diabetes is a multifactorial disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, inflammation, and dyslipidemia, factors that contribute to the development of long-term complications.

Open letter: Brazil at a crossroads—Protecting peatlands is essential for post‐COP30 climate leadership

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
This Open Letter highlights peatlands as critical yet overlooked ecosystems in Brazil's climate and biodiversity policies. By translating scientific evidence into clear, actionable priorities for policymakers, it supports more accurate climate reporting, effective mitigation strategies, and improved land‐use governance.

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Impact of parameterization in multiple acoustic index comparisons: practical cases in terrestrial and underwater soundscapes

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Parameter choices in acoustic analyses (sampling frequency, FFT size and window overlap) strongly influence multivariate soundscape separation. Using terrestrial and coral reef recordings, we show that these settings can exaggerate or mask ecological differences, emphasizing the need for parameter sensitivity testing and transparent reporting in ...
